Thy bounties, gracious Lord,
With gratitude we own;
We bless Thy providential grace,
Which showers its blessings down.
With joy the people bring
Their offerings round Thy throne;
With thankful souls, behold, we pay
A tribute of Thine own.
O may this sacrifice
To Thee, the Lord, ascend,
An odor of sweet perfume,
Presented by His hand.
